| Sep 29, 2022 at 2:03 | comment | added | Criggie♦ | @jayded-bee that would be a OLD of 126mm for a 5 speed, or perhaps 120mm for a modern singlespeed/track bike. sheldonbrown.com/frame-spacing.html#standard has all the numbers. | |

The original axle seems to have been a bit narrower than the 130 mm one I have installed currently. Thankfully it is steel so it's easy to bend or simply force the hub into place (even without cold setting). | |
